“Fox & Friends” host Brian Kilmeade on Friday ripped into President Donald Trump over his abrupt withdrawal of US troops from Syria, accusing him of opening the door for the Islamic State group, also known as ISIS, to make a major comeback.

Speaking with White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Kilmeade said, “Sarah, he’s giving Russia a big win. Vladimir Putin praised him. He’s also doing exactly what he criticized President Obama for doing. He said President Obama was the founder of ISIS. He just refounded ISIS.”

Kilmeade noted that ISIS still has thousands of fighters in the region despite the fact it’s lost its self-declared caliphate, or the large swath of territory it held across Iraq and Syria. “The president is really on the griddle with this,” Kilmeade said.

Looking somewhat shocked and bemused at Kilmeade’s assertion, Sanders replied, “Brian, I have to respectfully and vehemently disagree with you.”

The White House press secretary added, “The idea that the president has had anything to do with helping ISIS reemerge is absolutely outrageous.”
